Shocking Announcement: Disability Benefits To Be Slashed For 640,000 People

The government is set to slash benefits intended to meet the additional cost of living with a disability warning that up to 640,000 people could be affected by 2021.

The shocking announcement follows a recent consultation into Personal Independence Payments (PIP) – the benefit currently being rolled out to replace Disability Living Allowance. This benefit is awarded based on a points system which assesses addional costs incurred due to disability such as care or mobility needs. In a press release issued this morning the DWP have said that in future the numbers of points awarded to people who need some form of aid or appliance to help them dress or manage toilet needs will be halved.

According the department this is because much of the equipment needed by disabled people to manage these activites is available for one one off purchase at a low price or can sometimes be accessed for free from local councils or the NHS. The key word here being sometimes. If a disabled person needs a ceiling hoist to help them dress, or a specially adapted toilet, and their local authority will not pay for it, then unless they can find the money they will not be able to do these things unassisted. And this money may have to come out of meagre out-of-work sickness benefits, soon to be slashed to just over £70 a week for some disabled people.

The changes were widely opposed in the recent consultation with just 11 individuals agreeing change were required to the current system out of a total of 281 responses. Many disabled people’s organisations warned of the high costs of disability equipment, which also needs to be replaced, repaired and insured. A list of equipment which could be affecting by the changes is included in the consulation and include ceiling hoist – currently availalable for just £1,410 on ebay, incontinence products – £11.04 for 40 pads from Age UK and grab rails which can cost over £100 according to the Disabled Living Foundation. This is what the DWP means when they say items which can be “purchased for a low one-off cost”. In a shabby attempt to disguise a straight up benefit cut, the department says some of these things will be covered by other areas of the PIP assessment. This ignores the stark fact that these changes will mean some people will no longer be entitled to PIP at all.

The changes will initially only apply to new claimants, those who have a change in circumstances, such as moving house, and those being tranferred from Disability Living Allowance onto PIP – which will soon be everybody.

Charities and disabled people’s organisations have said that this cut will mean many disabled people will lose their independence and that costs may be pushed onto local councils and the already over-burdened NHS. But even this will create a postcode lottery for vital support which many disabled people need to live an independent life.

With a new Health & Work Programme on the way, which could see forced medical treatment as a condition of claiming benefits, vicious cuts to out of work disability benefits and now a slashing of support available to pay for disability aids and equipment, this is a government waging war on disabled people like never before. And that is a war on everybody. The UK used to be a place where there was a consensus that if you became sick and disabled then the cost of living an independent life would be socialised – a social insurance system that benefitted us all. It may not have always worked out that way, disability benefits have never been generous, but that’s what most people wanted, and probably still do. Soon however only the rich will be able to meet the cost of living with a disability. For the rest of us an accident or illness will mean being abandoned to poverty as a lesson to the working class of what happens if your productivity and ability to generate profits for wealthy might be slightly impaired in any way.

The Work and Pensions Secretary Iain Duncan Smith claimed people
liked being sanctioned – and that it helped them “focus”, and also
claimed people thanked him for taking their benefits away.

Could you please give me the exact number of claimants who have
thanked him for a sanction. Could you please give details of how
many thankyous were sent by card or letter, and how many were
verbal thankyou’s.

I would like to thank IDS for threatening to sanction me when I was working under. 16 hours a week and signing on.
Stupidly I asked the person signing me on to change the time of a back to work review to a time when I would not actually be AT WORK.
Obviously this was a refusal to attend at all wasn’t it??
Funny enough when I asked to speak to the floor manager, she saw the problem and re arranged the appointment!!
But I’m sure I should have learned from it but I’m too stupid to see how…

He also claimed that benefit sanctions “concentrate the mind” or words to that effect. In that way he trivializes the deaths of thousands of vulnerable and poor people who have been murdered by his regime.

A very evil man this is. Of course that’s not new; the Tory party is full of them.

Without in any way detracting from your arguments, anyone with a disability or a relative or carer reading your work should be aware that if they are on a low income without savings and need a one-off equipment purchase, they can sometimes apply for charitable grants, for example, AFTAID for the elderly.

Here is some guidance including a link to the Turn2Us grants search facility.

It’s right that people should not have to apply for charity for something which they should be entitled to in order to live an independent life in a decent society. But unfortunately we aren’t there yet, and being aware of these grants may help people in the here and now.

If you are purchasing equipment purely for assistance with disability or illness, you should also not have to pay VAT on it.

Sir Peter, the MP for Gosport, submitted an invoice for a “Stockholm” duck house to the Commons fees office.

The floating structure, which is almost 5ft high and is designed to provide protection for the birds, is based on an 18th-century building in Sweden. The receipt, from a firm specialising in bird pavilions, said: “Price includes three anchor blocks, duck house and island.”
His expenses files reveal that he was paid more than £30,000 of taxpayers’ money for “gardening” over three years, including nearly £500 for 28 tons of manure.

An Independent Review of the Personal Independence Payment Assessment

NUTRITION (THE NEEDS OF A DISABLED PERSON)

(i) to use an aid or appliance to be able to take nutrition; or
(ii) supervision to be able to take nutrition; or
(iii) assistance to be able to cut up food.

Assuming the ducks weren’t being breed for meat, the duck house is a tough one to call. Because it IS providing protection from predators, the elements for the ducks. And of course the ducks would have been well pleased.

But then again if you want the luxury of being able to enjoy ducks on your private pond you should be paying for it out of your own pocket. After all we would all like to have a pond in the back garden with ducks swimming around.

In a letter to the social security advisory committee (SSAC), Lord Freud insisted that it was not possible to carry out a CIA for disabled people, and claimed that this was a view “shared by the authoritative Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS)”.

Civil servants have refused to release information that would show how many secret reviews the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has carried out into benefit-related suicides in the last 15 months.

The refusal emerged in a response to a freedom of information (FoI) request that revealed there have been a further nine “peer reviews” into benefit-related deaths completed by DWP since November 2014.

Disability News Service (DNS) had asked DWP to update the figures it released 15 months ago, which showed there had been 49 reviews into benefit-related deaths since February 2012, of which 40 had involved suicides or attempted suicides.

But DWP civil servants refused to say how many of the latest nine cases involved suicides.

The refusal to release the information came as the welfare reform minister, Lord Freud, refused to monitor the number of claimants who take their own lives as a result of the £30-a-week cut for new claimants placed in the work-related activity group of employment and support allowance from April 2017.

As peers finally admitted defeat in their attempts to throw out the proposed cut from the welfare reform and work bill, the crossbench peer Baroness Meacher told Lord Freud: “I am certain that there will be people who cannot face the debts and the loss of their homes and who will take their lives.

“If the monitoring shows what I believe this cut will do, will he assure the House that he will seriously consider reviewing this action?”

But Lord Freud (pictured during the debate) made it clear that there would be no such monitoring.

“Day by day, the Conservative party has shown itself to be a complete enemy of the open society and this is a case in point.

“It is making it impossible for us to hold a democratically-elected government to account.

“The only possible reason we can see for keeping the findings secret – and not anonymising them – is we believe if the truth was known there would be an absolute uproar.”

In its FoI response, DWP claims that to release the information about the number of suicides would breach section 123 of the Social Security Administration Act 1992 (SSAA), because “the manner of death is clearly information relating to a particular person which has been obtained by civil servants in the course of their duties and this, combined with the numbers involved, means DWP is unable to disclose the information requested”.

One wonders what they think they are hiding – do they really want us to assume their culpablity? In the absence of the released information I think we’re all entitled to assume that ALL of the suicides were as a result of sanctions and the way that the disabled, the unemployed or otherwise marginalised are generally treated in the UK. But, and it’s a big one, where is the opposition in all this? Has Labour or the SNP gone on record as supporting the demand for the release of this information? Moreover, how is it, in a supposedly democratic society that someone who does not have an electoral mandate of any kind from anyone be in s position to be able to wilfully withold anything?

It’s beyond belief what these cunts are doing and getting away with. Fucking evil Tory cunts want fucking stringing up. The good news is I finally finished my stint of Workfare today – THANK FUCK. Fuck all Tory cunts. Fuck IDS, JCP, DWP AND ALL THE FUCKING MONEY-GRABBING CUNTS THAT PROFIT FROM THEIR EVIL. A plague on all their houses.

In advanced countries, measles can be severe when it infects people living in impoverished communities with poor nutrition, sanitation, and inadequate health care.

………SOUNDS FAMILIAR?

While cases of malnutrition doubled in the four years to 2014, there has been a rise in diseases that were rife in the Victorian era such as scurvy, scarlet fever,gout, cholera and whooping cough Corbis

Cases of malnutrition and other “Victorian” diseases are soaring in England, in what campaigners said was a result of cuts to social services and rising food poverty.

Parents have been urged to look out for symptoms of scarlet fever as cases hit an almost 50-year high.

About 600 cases a week were being diagnosed across England after a steep rise in infections recently, with 6,157 cases from September 2015 to March 2016, Public Health England (PHE) said.

In 2010-11, there were 1,457 infections diagnosed over the same period, jumping to 5,010 in 2014-15. In England and Wales in 1969, there were 16,093 cases followed by a long dip. Cases began to rise dramatically in 2014, and in 2015 there were 17,586 cases.

PHE expects a further rise in cases over the next few weeks as the peak season for the fever occurs, usually between late March and mid-April. Yorkshire and the Humber has been badly hit, as well as London and the east and West Midlands.

The infection needs prompt treatment with antibiotics owing to the potential for complications and more severe illness caused by its group A streptococcus bacteria.

@Geoff
Scurvy is a deficiency disease caused by lack of Vit C, likewise, rickets which is caused by lack of Vitamin D. Both can result due to malnutrition. While we can make our own Vit D due to the action of solar UV on our skin, kids stuck indoors in front of a screen as well the increasingly cloudy UK climate are behind the current rise in the incidence of rickets. In my day kids in danger of developing rickets were given treatments under sunlamps as hospital outpatients.

Reblogged this on Christopher John Ball and commented:
All this signed off by David Cameron a man who had a disabled father and son, a man who stated, in HoC, that he ‘needed no lessons on how to look after disabled people’ – The legacy of David Cameron will be written upon the graves of all the disabled people this odious mans policies have killed!

This evening on the BBC 6PM News (in reference to the terrible Tsunami disaster in Japan of 5 years today) the BBC reporter uttered these words.
“The first duty of a Government is to protect it’s people”.
Well, I am bloody sure that this does not now apply to our “Government” at all. Of what I see of it, their ‘first’ duty is to appear as ‘big’ as possible, make as much money as possible, gain for themselves as many expenses as possible, protect the rich, protect the tax evaders, protect the multinationals and enable them not to pay their fair share of tax owed.
Fuck the ‘people’ – they do not count – they can starve on the streets (or in their own homes) and then slowly die.
As Geoff said on here recently “The Tories – protecting themselves and no-one else since 1834!”
I am personally ashamed to live in Britain today. It is totally disgraceful.

“LORD DAVID FRAUD TELLS PARLIAMENT THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO DO A CUMULATIVE IMPACT ASSESSMENT ON THE IMPACT OF WELFARE CUTS TO THE DISABLED”

………..THEN ROUNDS IT UP WITH THIS STATEMENT:

“More generally, we believe that cumulative impact analysis should be treated with some caution, as it will be based upon a comparison with the previous government’s policies, which were unaffordable”.

If there are any disabled people out there worried that the end of your life will bring about a silence that will never be heard, Black triangle website are asking for you to record your pains, your observations and the torture you have faced.

Documentatation from the DWP, CAPITA, ATOS OR MAXIMUS (or any other government elected agencies, including Appeal Judges, Doctors or Magistrates), bearing the names of those who made any adverse decisions are welcome.

Along with your personal details and a photograph, they wish to make a database of the abuse that we are/will be facing.

The Tory government have a habit of losing documents. Black Triangle are preparing a history of disability abuse that can be accessed by our future generations to show what the Conservative government, with the backing of the Queen, unleashed on the most vulnerable in our society.

David Freud will be one of the first to be tried for his crimes. He is one of the key players, an architect of evil that places finance above human suffering and loss of life.
To openly state that it was impossible to do a cumulative impact assessment on welfare cuts to the disabled on the premise that the previous governments policies were unaffordable smacks of Eugenics.

Every despicable act of cruelty on the poor and disabled have been rubber stamped or introduced by this total lowlife.

Duck houses on expenses, Conservative ‘Election’ undisclosed expenses, a payment of £400,000 that MP for Torbay, Geoffrey Cox was not told about!
With them announcing this ‘austerity’ measure for PIP today what a disgrace. And not only that – Lord Freud should now be put onto the ‘Most Wanted’ list too.

This is not the first time that a ‘Government Department’ has tried to cover up their negligence. I can think of a few hard fought cases to try to get justice for people. Both of these involving the Ministry of Defence – firstly, the Atomic Bomb test veterans (I think on, or near Christmas Island) – several of them brought cases against the MOD/Gov’t for long lasting radiation sickness/cancer. The second, involving Devonport Dockyard where workers were exposed to asbestos material and developed fatal illness/cancer in later life. After long legal battles, they won their cases!

Not too much detail in the papers review – but seems to be to do with the PIP cuts coming in in Jan 2017 for 4 years up to 2020.
It’s so that they can ‘help’ the higher earners to give them 50p instead of 45p (if that makes sense!).
It was mentioned that No.11 has released this information early (as it’s likely to be mentioned in the budget next Wednesday) and as they thought it would be ‘unpopular’ they would drip-feed it out early!

Dear Ministry of Defence,
At the European Court of Human Rights at Strasbourg, during the
case, (1998), between McGinley and Egan v the United Kingdom,
paragraph 100 of the judgement read: “The Court recalls that the
Government have asserted that there was no pressing National
Security reason for retaining information relating to radiation
levels on Christmas Island following the tests.”

This statement. made by the British Government, gave their
assurances that information relating to radiation levels would be
released!

With the aforementioned in mind, could you please supply me with
the radiation levels,
recorded by the ‘First’ AWRE member of Staff entering the area of
Ground Zero after detonation of Atomic bombs Pennant and Burgee,
and the period of time which elapsed from detonation to the
re-entry.

@wildswimmerpete – Yes, that is another one that I forgot to mention.
Some of those poor people were badly affected also, and as far as I can remember – the Government denied all responsibility to them.
Unfortunately though, all too typical I’m afraid!

Attacking the weakest and most vulnerable people in our society. It’s like something from a horror film. If you read about it in the history books, you would be shocked – but this is happening right now.

Sarah7 – Its a shame that the photos/info that are shown above couldnt be put on the front of one of the ‘national’ newspapers – the sheeple then may just realise exactly what sort of people they have in ‘power’!

Of course, Tory MP’s will claim absolutely everything under their entitlement of expenses, however at the same time they will vote against disabled people who qualify for essential resources.

The Tories are absolutely disgusting and clearly anti-disabled to the point of being criminal. I would hang every Tory MP from the nearest tree who voted for this policy of discrimination against the most vulnerable in our society. Rot in hell you Tory scumbags!!!

We have received a referral for a single parent with 3 kids. This lady was sanctioned for non-attendance at an appointment.

This is the referral we got from the agency supporting her.

******* is a vulnerable Lone Parent I have referred her previously due to mix up with child tax credits.She has 3 children youngest Son just discharged from hospital pass out at home Has had surgery to remove brain tumour and stent fitted. ******* failed to attend Job Centre when Son was in hospital, I am working with Job Centre to get benefit sanction resolved, in meantime access to foodbank would allieviate some stress for this Family.

Of course, Tory MP’s will claim absolutely everything under their entitlement of expenses, however at the same time they will vote against disabled people who qualify for essential resources.

Quote Tory MP Sarah Wollaston who has supported every cut so far but even she said re getting benefits on condition of treatment was ‘unethical and completely ridiculous’ in the Torygraph two years ago (this is in relation that issue rather than cuts to PIP)

Continuing to roll out Universal Credit through to financial year 2020 to 2021 and extending job search conditionality to a further 1.3 million claimants to ensure that work always pays
continuing to provide a range of employment support through Jobcentre Plus, the Work Programme (until 2017) and the new Work and Health Programme from 2017
supporting people to become self-employed (New Enterprise Allowance)

reforming the welfare system to support people with disabilities and health conditions into work, whilst protecting the most vulnerable. We will be publishing a White Paper in 2016 that will set out plans to improve support for people with health conditions and disabilities, including exploring the roles of employers, and promoting integration across health and employment
continuing to provide specialist provision for people with health conditions and disabilities within Jobcentre Plus, Work Programme and Work Choice until 2017

introducing Jobcentre Plus support into schools in England to supplement careers advice and provide routes into apprenticeships, work experience and sector-based work academy places

As the Department will be aware the Secretary of State for Work and
Pensions (“SoS”) stated in his official capacity as SoS that 75% of
people who have had their benefits sanctioned said it helped them
“focus and get on.”

Please provide or direct me to the data and/or reports (official or
otherwise) upon which the Secretary of State based his statement.

If the Department holds no such information I respectfully remind
it that it does have an obligation to confirm or deny.

Debbie Abrahams MP, Labour’s Shadow Minister for Disabled People, commenting on the government’s announcement to reform the Personal Independence Payment system by cutting an additional £1.2 billion of support from the system, said:

“Just a week after forcing through cuts to support that will take over £1,500 a year from disabled people, the Tories have today snuck out a proposal to take away a further £1.2 billion, by removing support from people who are not able to manage toilet needs or dress unaided. This will mean that over 600,000 disabled people are set to lose almost £2,000 a year.

“In coming to this decision, the Tories are yet again ignoring the views of disabled people, carers and experts in the field, trying to press ahead with changes, just two years since the introduction of the system. While their own proposals admit that the vast majority of respondents did not think the case for change had been made.

“Labour rejected entirely the principles underlying the consultation, all of the proposed ‘options’ impact harmfully on disabled people and removing support for people who need help to use the toilet or dress is an attack on dignity.

“Tory cuts have already taken over £24 billion in support from disabled people, these further cuts would represent another huge blow making life even more difficult for many people who already facing huge barriers.”

……….It shouldn’t be too long before a specially chosen Conservative think tank comes up with the idea of mandatory showers for the disabled.

Richard Montoni’s goons at Maximus could escort the troubled patients in whilst the PCS Union workers and Dwp specially selected trick cyclists fight to push cans of zyklon B into the ventilator ducts.

The Freedom of Information Commissioner, Christopher Graham, could retain his present position of hiding mortality deaths by ensuring the body piles reach the giant gas fired furnaces, the crematoria, in double quick time.

It kinda makes you have doubts abouts the HS2 rail links and it’s intended purpose……………..

What I would really like to know is – is there any other Country who is a member of the EU whose Government can behave like this? Not only in cruelly hitting the poor, the sick, the disabled and the unemployed, but also in their general behaviour in the main Chamber as such.
We already know that Bellesconi of Italy was up to all sorts of corruption and to a lesser extent, also Sarcozy of France was mixed up in vs things.
However, our Government seems to increasingly run according to it’s ‘own’ laws – not listening to hardly anyone, the very least of al,l the electorate.
The most worrying thing of all though is that ‘democracy’ seems to be going down the pan and this Country is very much in danger of becoming a right-wing dictatorship. Worrying times indeed.

Don’t worry about having to ask for more hour while on UC, your work coach is going to do it for you.

Q119 Priti Awful: The real catalyst for change right now is that the work coach can pick up the phone, effectively, to an employer, and say, “This claimant has only been working X hours right now. He or she now feels they are ready to work more hours or develop or be supported into a new role”. That kind of interaction changes the relationship in a way that did not exist previously.

I can just imagine a supermarket with 30 part-time workers having to deal with random calls from work coaches asking for more hours for
the staff who are off.

Q133 Neil Coyle: there have been the pilots and the trials. I would be very interested to see that point about increasing earnings because in the Southwark trial I believe it was the case that 100% of the people on the trial ended up in housing cost arrears—100%. If there was an increase in earnings and still people ended up in arrears, what went wrong? What went so badly wrong?

Had Labour been truly Labour, and we didn’t have the inept useless red tory Miliband, (whom Labour knew would never win on full year before the General Election ), Camron would not have lastedthe 5 years. And had we not the treachery of Nicholas Clegg, Cameron wouldn’t have got as much as 2 years if even that. Labour have much to answer for here, as much as the Lib Dems.. And when we see the lone Labour MP in Scotland not even vote against the disability cuts but abstain (why?) and Labour councils in London like Lambeth evict a guy at 80 something because they want to sell off the houses they live in and he demands justcie, and others collude with DWP to put staff in doctors’ surgeries, then it shows us Labour has learned absolutely nothing about the either the Scottish Referendum, and they paid dearly over that, or the loss of the General Election in England and Wales.
It is a new political organisation that is needed. How that comes about, and who would be the folks who go about it, I don’t know, but unless something happens pretty soon, we may not need a political party. There will be just pure chaos instead!!

………….The more and more i read about the Labour Party makes me realise that the aspirations of the originators are being played out by banksters hell bent on shafting those that policy was made to protect.

Corbyn is a worthy cause, sold down the river by those knife wielding back stabbers of the right.

Follow the money trail back to those that hidden agendas that put the aspirations of rank and file members on the back burner whilst greedily filling their already bloated bank accounts………

Four Labour MPs Michael Dugher, Phil Wilson and Ian Lavery and hiked a relative up three salary bands.

Party vice-chairman Michael Dugher put his wife Joanna’s wages up from £19,999 to as much as £34,999, Labour whip Phil Wilson increased his wife Margaret’s salary from £24,999 to £39,999 and Wansbeck MP Ian Lavery put his wife Hilary on £24,999 from £9,999.

Two hundred thousand disabled people will each lose almost £3,000 a year as a result of sweeping cuts to disability benefits, according to Labour analysis.

A further 400,000 will see their weekly payment fall from the enhanced £82 to the standard £55 – costing them over £1,400 a year.

The reform will mean that from next year people will only be awarded one point, instead of two, if they need aid to help them use the toilet or get dressed – resulting in lower or no payments.

Field told the Guardian that he had grave concerns about the PIP system, after constituents told him they were being awarded zero points, then having the decision overturned on appeal.

Phil Reynolds, policy and campaigns adviser at Parkinson’s UK, said: “This is a devastating step backwards for people with Parkinson’s. Parkinson’s impacts on every aspect of a person’s life and the government’s announcement that it will cut points in this way is absolutely senseless.”

These money grabbing and self-righteous M.P.s and Ministers – who can be seen televised every week on PMQ’s and BBC Parliament. They have absolutely no idea at all about how most of the people in this Country live (or survive) – working or not, sick or not, disabled or not, unemployed or not, or on some unpaid Workfare scheme. All the bastards care about is how big and arrogant they can appear to the public and how much tax-payers money for their ill-deserved salaries and expenses that they can esponge. Often to be seen sniggering and laughing and talking or whispering amongst themselves – what a real load of horse-shit they really are. The right-wing Media tabloids side with them – they, in their eyes can do no wrong. IDS is a hero – Cameron is a hero – Osborne is a hero. The House of Commons is a rich shit-hole laden with bone-idol M.P.’s that sit on their often fat arses, talking bullshit whilst everywhere else in Britain people are often working long hours and working their bollocks off to pay the tax – that go to feed these greedy self-serving cunts and their ‘friends’ companies and businesses.
And then they take this tax and give it to themselves & the middle classes and above, and to the rich, they give it in corrupt ‘overseas aid’, never to have it repaid in one pennysworth.
But the very worst thing is in the way they treat the poor, the sick, the disabled and the unemployed. They look at them as if they are shit, not worth anything at all and if something is not drastically done by the general public before too long – it will become a right-wing dictatorship, with all of what that entails.

1.7
The Department has therefore decided, following full consideration of the equality impacts, to
halve the number of points awarded for aids and appliances for some daily living activities. The
majority of claimants with low, minimal or no extra costs score their points from preparing food
(activity one), washing and bathing (activity four), dressing and undressing (activity five) and
managing toilet needs (activity six).

“Employees on in-work benefits who put aside £50 a month would get a bonus of 50%”

As if hard-working taxpayers would put up with people on benefits being able to save, while they themselves can’t.
It’ll be a trick, if you manage to ‘save’ £50 a month for a few months they’ll then say well you don’t need the ‘in-work benefit’ then do you.

Yup, something smells of horseshit about this. If you could genuinely save 50 knicker a month you would be better stuffing it in the old mattress, not having it out in the open, so to speak, where osborne, the taxman, dwp, govmint can see it.

It is a new political organisation that is needed. How that comes about, and who would be the folks who go about it, I don’t know, but unless something happens pretty soon, we may not need a political party. There will be just pure chaos instead!!

The Country is a Dictatorship masquerading as a ” Democracy ”

What I would really like to know is – is there any other Country who is a member of the EU whose Government can behave like this? Not only in cruelly hitting the poor, the sick, the disabled and the unemployed, but also in their general behaviour in the main Chamber as such.
We already know that Bellesconi of Italy was up to all sorts of corruption and to a lesser extent, also Sarcozy of France was mixed up in vs things.
However, our Government seems to increasingly run according to it’s ‘own’ laws – not listening to hardly anyone, the very least of al,l the electorate.
The most worrying thing of all though is that ‘democracy’ seems to be going down the pan and this Country is very much in danger of becoming a right-wing dictatorship. Worrying times indeed
